Tribute 4.2% abv
A Supreme Champion Ale of Cornwall as
voted by CAMRA*, Tribute is a popular
favourite with locals and visitors to Cornwall, as well as being a much sought after guest ale throughout the rest of the UK. It is brewed using specially grown Cornish Gold Malt and is a perfect accompaniment to chicken, gammon or fish. The ideal alternative to a fine white wine.
Roger Protz, Editor Good Beer Guide, recently reviewed Tribute. "Tribute is a magnificent example of a bronze coloured English bitter, with a rich aroma of biscuity malt and tart citrus fruit from the Willamette hops. Juicy malt, hop resins and tangy fruit coat the tongue, while the finish is long and lingering, with a fine balance between malt, hops and fruit, finally becoming dry and bitter"
*Voted Supreme Champion Cornish Ale, CAMRA Falmouth Beer Festival 2004.

Ale
These are top fermented beers - in contrast to lagers, which are bottom-fermented. There is an infinite variety of flavours within the ale category, but most will display caramel flavours, varying degrees of hoppy bitterness, as well as fruity aromas. The ale category includes bitter, mild, brown ales, Scottish and Irish ales as well as a variety of European and American ales.
All St Austell Brewery beers are top fermented ales.
Cask Ale
Cask ale or "cask-conditioned beer" is the term for unfiltered and unpasteurised beer which is conditioned and served from a cask, usually without additional nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. Cask ale may also be referred to as real ale, a term coined by the Campaign for Real Ale, often now extended to cover bottle-conditioned beer as well.
Our cask ales include: Tribute, HSD, Tinners, Black Prince, Proper Job, IPA.
Keg beer
St Austell Brewery brews both cask and keg bitters. A keg ale is beer which has been pasteurised to prolong life. Nitrogen Dioxide is added to the keg to ensure each pint has a consistent head and fizz.
St Austell Brewery keg are Duchy Bitter and Cornish Cream Stout
Lager
Lager is a type of beer, the term deriving from the German ‘lagern' meaning ‘store' in reference to the time these beers spend in cold storage. Lagers are crisp, clean and lightly hoppy. They are best served very chilled and have great refreshing qualities.
St Austell Brewery does not brew its own lager.
Porters and stouts
These are almost black in colour and have a highly roasted taste. They have hints of chocolate and caramel and intense fruitiness.
St Austell Brewery brews Cornish Cream as a keg stout and Black Prince as a cask stout.
Pilsner
A style of lager created in the Czech Republic. The best of these are buttery, slightly honeyed, and have a floral aroma, with a well-rounded flavour of hops, which gives the characteristic bitterness.
St Austell Brewery does not brew its own Pilsner.
Wheat beers
These beers, brewed mainly in Germany and Belgium, are also known as ‘wit' or ‘weiss' because of their very pale colour. Unlike most beer styles, where clarity is desirable, wheat beers are intentionally cloudy. They are zesty, low in bitterness and may contain notes of orange peel, coriander, clove or banana.
St Austell Brewery Clouded Yellow is a Wheat Bear.
